Magico Owners - what are you using for amplification?

Hi all,

Pretty simple just like the title says.....curious what other owners are using for power. I was having a moment a while back where I thought I could use an improvement, and then more recently the other night was completely blown away and laughing that I ever considered it. Figured I might ask here and get some good feedback. Currently using Luxman 509x integrated with S3MK1’s. When I was researching the "fit" (since I already had the amp) I stumbled on feedback from the FL audio show where they were debuting the A3’s with 509x and getting great reviews. A3 is rated same 88db/4ohm as the S3 but might in fact be a bit easier? Who knows.

Thanks in advance for insights.

Since I posted this I have upgraded from Luxman 509x to Luxman C900/M900 combination.  The differences are notable for sure.  Like many others, these really respond to current.

Magico A5 with a Boulder 866. Though I would like to try out the Gryphon Diablo 333 one day.

Running Simaudio 390 Pre/DAC/Streamer into Simaudio 330A Amp into Magico A3s.  Electronics are in an enclosed console, so it was important that it not run too hot.  Amp (125 watts first 5 Class A) will get warm but not hand burning hot.

 

@hanki - Interested in comments on how hot the Coda S5.5 runs.  Would it burn your hand or just warm.  Thanks.
